Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics, Mathematical research institute in Kaiserslautern, Germany.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics is a research facility that develops mathematical solutions for industrial challenges across multiple sectors. Its teams use modeling, simulation, and optimization methods to help companies improve their production, design, and engineering processes.
The institute was founded in 1991 and became a full member of the Fraunhofer Society in 1995, strengthening its role in applied mathematics research. Since then it has grown into a major hub for collaboration between science and industry.
The institute draws researchers and industrial partners from around the world who collaborate on real-world problem-solving projects. This international presence shapes the scientific environment in Kaiserslautern and creates a space where academic knowledge meets industrial needs.
Companies can work directly with researchers on-site to develop tailored mathematical solutions for their specific challenges. Visiting is best arranged in advance through contact with the institute, as it is a specialized research facility rather than a public attraction.
The institute converts experimental data into mathematical models that are integrated into comprehensive simulation programs for industry. This approach allows companies to predict and test complex scenarios before investing in expensive physical prototypes or manufacturing changes.
